- Priority Matching: Prioritize exact node matches in connect, delete, show, and modify actions to bypass disambiguation prompts and prevent accidental bulk mutations on partial matches.
- Bulk Operations: Optimize NodeService delete and update operations by deferring configuration writes, syncs, and cache updates to the final element of a batch.
- Remote AI: Prevent client-side CLI deadlocks when the gRPC server encounters AI configuration ValueErrors by returning a clean error state and final stream marker.
- Testing: Add unit test to verify exact-match priority behavior and update existing CLI tests to match new NodeService signatures.
- **Core/Jumphost**: Implement native jumphost support for `ssm`, `kubectl`, and `docker` protocols via transparent ProxyCommands.
- **Core/Tags**: Introduce `ssh_options` tag to pass custom arguments (e.g., `-i key.pem`) inside nested SSM SSH tunnels.
- **Core/Tags**: Introduce `nc_command` tag to override default `nc` behavior in Docker/Kube tunnels (crucial for IOS-XRd VRF netns isolation).
- **Core/Async**: Fix a critical bug where interactive terminal sessions disconnected immediately due to premature `asyncio.FIRST_COMPLETED` task resolution when logs or idletime were disabled.
- **Services/Node**: Fix logic error in `validate_parent_folder` that prevented the creation of new nested subfolders (CLI was incorrectly checking for the subfolder's own existence instead of the parent's).
- **CLI/Help**: Update documentation to include the new `region`, `profile`, `ssh_options`, and `nc_command` well-known tags.
- Replaced blocking pexpect interact with asyncio-based multiplexing.
- Implemented LocalStream and RemoteStream for agnostic I/O handling.
- Real-time SIGWINCH window resizing support.
- 'Ghost buffer' mitigation for clean, artifact-free session handovers.
- Upgraded _logclean into a mini terminal emulator to accurately process ANSI, backspaces, and inline clears.
- Continuous auto-saving for logs without blocking the main thread.
- Bumped version to 6.0.0b1 and regenerated pdoc documentation.
